You grew up on rock 'n' roll So why deny it now To leave your passion in the cold Just won't be allowed Everyday your mom and dad Tell you it's a sin But your rockin' brothers and sisters Will stick by you through thick and thin And the beat goes on and on and on And you can feel it proud A generation rockin' on Chorus: Get ready of the shake up - uh huh Everybody wake up - oh yeah Get ready of the shake up - uh huh Get ready of the shake up - uh huh You've got homework and yard work It's way too much hard work But that can't hold you back Come Friday night on the boulevard You'll have a rock 'n' roll attack They'll be raisin' their fists to the power chords Playin' on the radio Sayin' this is what we've all been livin' for Cause we're all part of the show And the beat goes on and on and on And you can feel it proud A generation rockin' on Chorus Solo Chorus repeats 2x
